"AMD is in the same boat as ATI. Delays after delays of their long-awaited Barcelona core not only ensured the dominance of their rival, Intel, in the desktop processor market, it also ensured that Intel would be the only choice for those who want a quad-core processor. Although that wait will end in August, 2007 when the Barcelona is finally launched, it remains to be seen if AMD's new processor will be able to inflict serious damage to Intel's dominance."

Gotta love that quad core design, but hopefully it can perform also.

I'm pretty sure this CPU will out perform Intels Q series chips... but question is for us enthusiast, is will it overclock as well as the core2's ?
